** yDNA match with:The Duke of Monmouth, the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, the Duke of St.Albans, the Earl of Euston and Lord Montague of Beaulie. All claim to be descendants of from King Charles II and his mistress Nell Gwyn.

If I ever see the results of the Y-DNA tests of the Duke of Monmouth, the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, the Duke of St.Albans, the Earl of Euston, and Montague of Beaulie, I may even believe that I belong to the same Stewart family as King Charles II.

My Martin family belongs to "Group #3" of the MARTIN Surname Y-DNA Project at http://www.small-stuff.com/MARTIN/DNA/ . See FTDNA kit #157832. The pedigree of one of my Martin cousin's matches includes Nicholas MARTIN, who lived in Dartington, Devonshire during the thirteenth century: "Baron Martin de Tours (1025-1088) was the first in the line, his descendants have the surname Martin..."

According to my mitochondrial DNA test results, my matrilineal ancestors belong to haplogroup T2b. They were Vikings and the first farmers and civilized haplogroup on earth.

"Haplogroup T is believed to have originated in Mesopotamia approximately 10,000 years before present, and to have moved north into Europe and east as far as India. It is found with particularly high concentrations around the eastern Baltic Sea." Source of quote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haplogroup_T_(mtDNA)

Hello P1.It would appear from the information you have sent me that you are VERY close to my family. Your ancestor was probably one of Andrew Stewart's 13 children. I would not be surprised to discover that your Irish Stewart's simply moved “across the water” (only some 20 miles) to Ireland, to escape the persecution of the English and their region representatives.The gentlemen whose yDNA I matched with, were represented by their physicians, to ensure their privacy was maintained. Please contact me directly, as I would like to view your family tree and share with you my family information and website.E-mail to: replycs@yahoo.caRegards,

If you did not see the results of the Y-DNA tests of the Duke of Monmouth, the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, the Duke of St.Albans, the Earl of Euston, and Montague of Beaulie, how sure are you that you belong to the same family as the kings of Scotland?

Who told you that? Has someone played a joke on you?

Did those physicians contact you? Is contacting matches a physician's job, or ethical? If those aristocrats wanted someone to contact you, would they have used their lawyers instead?

Why would a physician contact you about his patient's DNA? To invite you to a soirée?

Sound like a tale hatched in Nigeria?

If they thought their claims were valid, why would the Duke of Monmouth, the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, the Duke of St.Albans, the Earl of Euston, and Montague of Beaulie or any descendants of the kings of Scotland hide their DNA test results from you or anyone else? The pedigrees of aristocrats have always been published in books. That is how I discovered that some of my friends are descendants of James I.

If I ever see the results of the Y-DNA tests of the Duke of Monmouth, the Duke of Richmond and Gordon, the Duke of St.Albans, the Earl of Euston, and Montague of Beaulie, I may believe that we belong to the same family as the kings of Scotland._____________

OUR GENETIC DISTANCE

Our test results differ by five markers out of 67, one of which mutates slowly (459b). The other four mutate more quickly (449, 570, CDYa , 464c ).

Since my paper trail ends with James STEWART (b.c.1740) from Broughshane, Co. Antrim, Ireland, my DNA is the only evidence that I have or will have that we belong to the same Stewart family.

You seem somewhat perturbed by the "secrecy" surrounding the yDNA samples sent to FTDNA for analysis. If you (or I for that matter) were in such a position of wealth and opulence, we may both want to keep unwanted individuals "away" from the family fortune, what, what? LOLTruth is, these individuals donated their yDNA for research by a British author named Roger Powell, who wrote "Royal Bastards" and other such delightfully titled books.Mr. Powell and I have spoken on a number of occasions and continue to do so.Suffice to say that there are no "Nigeria's in the mix” and that further yDNA testing has been forthcoming, based on my own results to 67 markers. I also participated in a recent deep clad test and we are all now grouped into the following:

R1b1b2a1b5

Please let me know if you are indeed a match to my results shown below;
